As a black man I can tell you that white communist and Marxist have always taken advantage of idealistic naive well intentioned and uneducated black men and women for their own agenda. And who do you think it is that want to keep blacks on welfare,kids out of wedlock and blaming society for their problems? That's right baby.
The same Marxist and communist who want a endless supply of bitter disillusioned people to stir up and manipulate.It's called the grievance industry.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
